Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

The bank of the times

5
I have had an account for a couple years and I have watched other banks fade away. When I joined Starling, I signed up through the application on my phone. It was very easy. I confirmed my identity online, with somethey help me via live chat. I can upload cheques to my account. When I am a little out of pocket, I find a few spare pennies that have been automatically saved for me with each purchase. Starling is progressive and targets the current age and that is wonderful. Older people seem to get left behind in the times. This encourages them to adapt and embrace them. It welcomes them into the new age. Reviewed on: 5th March 2021

I have been with Starling since 13/09/2020. I have made full use of my current account with every option and capability, I have Multiple Saving pots for regular expenses like transport to and from College everyday, my weekly Bills such as rent, my Spotify subscription, phone bill and other online gaming subscriptions. I have a second space card that I give to relatives or friends that need it in case of emergencies. I have always had good experiences with the Starling Team, especially the customer service group, I've had all issues fixed and I will 100% confidently recommend Starling Bank to anyone who wants to Bank with Simplicity and ease.
